D-1/1-LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Abbey Seidensticker Ramirez, Elaine Case Number C15-2021-0057; Variance Request Hearing 12/13/21 Monday, December 06, 2021 1:48:33 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Case Number: C15-2021-0057 Abbey Seidensticker 1602 Bluebonnet Ln, Austin, Texas 78704 512-529-4074 I am in favor of granting the variance. Comments: I am the next door neighbor to Mr. & Mrs. Burkhart and our property shares a fence line with their property. We believe the variance request should be granted Bluebonnet Lane is a busy street, not only for vehicular traffic, but also bicycles and pedestrians. It is a popular route to get to large events such as ACL Festival, Trail of Lights, Blues on the Green, and many others. Our properties are also across the street from businesses such as Bluebonnet Food Mart and Thoroughbread, further increasing the amount of activity around our homes. Tall fences are the norm along this street to ensure privacy and increase security. The fence at 2000 Peach Tree Street is very attractive and in similar taste as many other fences along Bluebonnet. Please let me know if you need any additional information in order to have my comments submitted to the Board of Adjustment.

D-1/2-LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Cindy Cross Ramirez, Elaine Case # C15-2021-0057 Variance Friday, December 10, 2021 3:23:24 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Cindy Cross 2001 Peach Tree Street Austin, TX 78704 I live across the street from the Burkharts. I am strongly in favor of granting the variance, for the following reasons: 1) Aesthetically the fence and landscaping are gorgeous! A+ on the whole project. The fence fits wonderfully into the Peach Tree neighborhood as well as this section of Bluebonnet. It actually improves the cohesiveness of the neighborhood. 2) Directly across the street from the Burkharts’ home is a commercial section. Michael A Laundry, Bluebonnet Market, Thoroughbread, as well as Zilker Properties are there. Modelo and Budweiser routinely park their 18 wheeler trucks and cabs in front of their home, as the beer companies seem to deliver around 7:30 in the morning. I’m sure the fence provides some relief for the family and their dogs. 3) Finally, the bike path is well used daily, and extremely well used during the ACL Festival and other events. Zilker Elementary is right down the road . This high foot, bike, car and truck traffic all takes place in front of their home. I’m 100 percent in favor of granting the variance. Please let me know if you need any clarity on the above. Happiest of holidays to you.
